Tier 1/2, between “Firmly pro-Israel” and “Mainstream pro-Israel”
Asked by iVoterGuide in 2024 whether the U.S. relationship with Israel is important, she wrote that “Historically, the U.S. and Israel share Judeo-Christian principles/values,” that “Israel is on the front lines of mitigating radical forces in the middle east that want to destroy each of our countries,” and that Israel “is a close trading partner and ally that shares intelligence on terrorism, nuclear arms proliferation, and military defense technology/systems/tactics”; no statement on Gaza, Palestinians or military aid was found. A retired Ford Motor Company manager and the 2024 Republican nominee in MI-6, she runs on constitutional rights, fiscal restraint, border security and “Peace Through Strength.”
A thin 1/2. Her one statement on Israel is her 2024 iVoterGuide answer: the U.S. and Israel “share Judeo-Christian principles/values,” Israel “is on the front lines of mitigating radical forces in the middle east that want to destroy each of our countries,” and it is “a close trading partner and ally that shares intelligence on terrorism, nuclear arms proliferation, and military defense technology/systems/tactics.” That is an ally case with no concern for Palestinian civilians and nothing on military aid, weapons or Gaza. On a thin record: one questionnaire answer, two years old. No 2026 iVoterGuide answers are posted, and her 2024 and 2026 platforms (as quoted by Ballotpedia) and campaign site offer only general “Peace Through Strength” and military-arsenal planks. She holds no office and has led nothing on the issue, and her FEC filings show no pro-Israel PAC money in 2022, 2024 or 2026. Counter-case: unrated, since the answer comes from her 2024 run and she has given none in 2026.
